Then, with a flask of the draught, Fury shows how the concoction will endlessly convert the game’s world into gold, allowing him to tunnel to its final area at the bottom of the map. Hopping into it like Scrooge McDuck, his currency starts increasing like an odometer in the top right corner of the screen. This is how Fury both learns if the golden cocktail is available in a run, and if so, what its unique recipe would be.Īt the 8-minute mark in the video, Fury demonstrates the golden power, named the Draught of Midas, by converting a huge tank of goop into gold. To discover the random mixture of a given session, another player, Zatherz, created a Noita website that lets players plug-in the “Seed” number on the game’s pause screen to learn the the stage’s random recipe. Another is the aforementioned gold conversion potion. One of these cocktails creates huge pools of nourishing health. But the game also features “random” alchemic recipes unique to each procedurally generated stage. As he explains in the video, the game has plenty of obvious alchemical mixtures, like using water to extinguish fire or combustion to create smoke. How Fury creates this potion is fascinating in its own right. YouTuber FuryForgerd has been detailing some of these quirks over the past few weeks, and recently documented something particularly special: a gold potion that carves through the game’s entire map until it reaches the final area. Russ Frushtick explains the magic of Noita in great detail in our initial impressions.īut what has really kept me glued to Noita is another thing it shares with Spelunky: many hidden surprises that its community is just beginning to uncover. The experiments of precious falling sand games now have purpose, as acidic cocktails, fiery combustions, and cooling buckets of water help you safely (and often not so safely) navigate the world. Every pixel within its world is physically simulated. NOITA ALCHEMY SEED SERIESIn Noita, you control a little witch who navigates a series of increasingly deadly caverns. One of 2019’s most underrated games, Noita builds upon the falling-sands genre by layering it over a sturdy, long-lasting foundation: the Spelunky-style roguelike. They’re toys, novel distractions that get easily displaced for something new. The trouble with falling-sand games is, eventually, there’s not much more to do. Whenever I play these games, the first thing I do is build a bowl with rock, fill it with oil, then drop a small spark and boom! After doing this another dozen or so times, I fiddle with weirder, less explosive mixtures. In most falling-sand games, you get a big, empty 2D space in which to experiment with mixing pixel particles, which represent various substances, like water, oil, stone, and fire. You know, the sort of games junior high science teachers once relied on to make learning fun. You can literally just walk to the final boss because everything dies on it's own.Did you know there’s an entire video game genre dedicated to particle simulation? It’s called “falling-sand,” and while the name itself probably sounds unfamiliar, its diminutive catalogue achieved considerable fame in the era of Java and Flash. Oh and also gas burning, just in case something wasn't on fire yet. And you even get wand editing and trick greed later.
